Sun21

LOA: 46'

Using solar power only, the catamaran "sun21" undertook the first motorized crossing of the Atlantic with solar power to promote the great potential of this technology for ocean navigation. The "sun21" arrived in New York City on 8 May 2007, 3 pm, having covered about 7000 sea miles. The journey of sun21 was made possible by the association transatlantic21. After the activities in New York, the association donated the solar boat to the WWF Adena/Madrid who will use it as scientific research vessel.
